It was invented by Sejong the Great, the 4th King of the Joseon Dynasty in 1443 and it is still used widely.

What does it mean it's still widely used? The sentence suggests that most people think Hangeul is not used anymore. The "still widely" is misleading. It is the only form of writing in Korean everyday life. --2.245.126.83 (talk) 01:50, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Still used widely" means still used by a large number of people. I simplified the article to say that. If you want to go a step further and say it's the most common, or the only, just find a reference for that and go ahead. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:03, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hangul vs. Hangeul?[change source]

Which spelling would be more correct? The English Wiktionary says that for their usage, Hangeul is preferred, but that "hangul" is the more common English spelling. The English Wikipedia uses the Hangeul spelling as well. Do we think it's more appropriate to use the usages other English Wikis are using, or the more common English spelling?

Not sure the etiquette on edit-to-add vs. replying, but my mistake on the English Wikipedia -- they are also using the Hangul spelling, I just didn't follow the link through. It uses a "redirected from" tag when the search is Hangeul. So that maybe gives more preference to the spelling. I was just wondering about this to figure out if it was worth making all the spellings the same across articles and links. Cardiganner (talk) 15:45, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
